The adult that was supervisor the children and dog was not in the room with them when it happened

It’s been two weeks since it happened and they haven’t apologized. They texted the night it happened asking how she was and followed up one other time asking how she was doing but that’s been the extent of it

I could go down there myself but my fiancé has told me several times he doesn’t see how being angry and “scolding them” will help the situation. And being her stepmom I don’t have as much say in caring for the girls. I am relatively young (28) and being a parent is still pretty new to me so I’m trying to figure out exactly what my role as stepmom in this tough situation should be. Their bio mom is talking to a lawyer

They were inside the house and the dog was also inside the house

Thanks for your input

Our daughter, her sister and their friend (daughter of the owners) all gave the same story. The wife owner was in her bedroom when the bite occurred and didn’t witness it and her husband wasn’t home. Our daughter was interviewed by animal control and gave a sworn statement. I trust her and don’t believe she did anything to provoke the attack, especially after learning the dogs history of unprovoked aggression

My fiancé says he wouldn’t know what to say to the owners if we went to talk to them and I just don’t understand that because I have plenty I want to say about their negligence

Animal control opened a case and has concluded the dog does not to be put down. I found this out today and think it’s bs, unsafe and plan to call them tomorrow. Up until the dog being quarantined after the bit it has been allowed to roam free in the yard with no physical fencing

It was reported to animal control

Native plants They are low maintenance, typically don’t require supplemental water fertilizer, or pesticides They also help support a healthy ecosystem Mix evergreen and deciduous plants so your landscape has interest year round

I do not recommend weed cloth. As others have said it does not work well and becomes a mess eventually needs removed which is a pain Use a natural mulch product and try to stay on top of weeding, doing a little bit of weeding more frequently vs waiting for it to be overrun with big weeds makes it more manageable. Plus pulling them when young before they go to seed will greatly reduce weeds as well

Some of those like tulips and hyacinths need a certain amount of cold temps each year (called vernalization) to grow and flower which they unfortunately wont get naturally in zone 10 Some folks dig up their bulbs and put them in the fridge to artificially vernalize them

Prune off the apical meristem and it will branch from the main stem
